Israel carried out attack on Iran in early hours of Saturday (October 26). As per Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander-in-Chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), said that four Iranian soldiers were killed in Israel's attack in addition to a civilian.

Israel said that Saturday's attack was in retaliation to Iranian attack on Israel earlier this month.

An attack in and around Iranian capital was a major escalation by Israel. But Iranian reaction has been muted than what was expected.

Khamenei said on Sunday it would be wrong to exaggerate as well as downplay the Israeli attack and that Iran will respond at a time and place of its choosing.

He criticised Israel for he described were war-crimes it was committing in Hezbollah and Gaza.

"A global coalition must be formed, as well as a political coalition, an economic coalition, and, if necessary, a military coalition, against the malicious Zionist regime that is committing the most brutal war crimes today," Khamenei was quoted as saying in Iranian state media.
